A Mighty Girl Book of the Year
If you like to think big, but some say you're too small, or
they say you're too young or too slow or too tall... Meet Dr.
Bath--the scientist who never lost sight of her dreams!
As a girl coming of age during the Civil Rights Movement, Patricia Bath
made it her mission to become a doctor. When obstacles like racism,
poverty, and sexism threatened this goal, she persevered--brightening
the world with a game-changing treatment for blindness!
The Doctor with an Eye for Eyes: The Story of Dr. Patricia Bath is the
second book in a brand new educational series about the inspirational
lives of amazing scientists! In addition to the illustrated rhyming
tale, you'll find a complete biography, fun facts, a colorful timeline
of events, and even a note from Dr. Bath herself!
